ENVIRONMENTAL SETTINGS: Continental; terrestrial

POSSIBLE TRACEMAKERS: Early mammals belonging in Carnivora. They were likely created by the dog like carnivore Miacis (Miacoidea), since they are the appropriate size and they are found in the same region and formation as the footprints. The feet of Miacis, however, remains undescribed.
